Spare parts and drivetrain components for the Toyota RAV 4.
The Toyota RAV 4 is renowned for its reliability and versatility, but just like any vehicle, its drivetrain demands regular maintenance and occasional replacement of wear items. As a dedicated driveline specialist, we supply an extensive range tailored specifically for this model. With 37 matched products in our system, we cover the most vital power transmission requirements. Selecting the correct components is not merely a matter of function, but also of safety and driving comfort. A properly functioning drivetrain minimises vibrations and ensures engine power reaches the wheels efficiently, which is particularly crucial for a car frequently driven across diverse road conditions.
The drivetrain in a Toyota RAV 4 is built to handle both urban motoring and light off-roading. Power is generated by the engine and transferred via the gearbox to the wheels. On front-wheel-drive models, this is delivered through a drive shaft for the Toyota RAV 4 on each side at the front. For the popular all-wheel-drive versions (AWD), a transfer box sends power towards the rear via a Toyota RAV 4 propeller shaft. The system is intricate, relying on several joints and shafts that must function in seamless harmony. Every component, from the smallest circlip to the longest shaft, plays a decisive role in the vehicle's overall handling and stability.
There are several clear indicators that a component in your Toyota RAV 4 drivetrain is beginning to fail. One of the most frequent symptoms is a clicking or knocking sound on full steering lock, which typically points to a worn outer CV joint on your Toyota RAV 4. Vibrations during acceleration can instead suggest problems with the inner joints or the drive shaft itself. If you notice persistent vibrations regardless of acceleration, the prop shaft or its centre bearing may require inspection. Furthermore, a cracked Toyota RAV 4 ABS ring commonly sends faulty signals to the braking system, which usually causes the ABS warning light to illuminate on the dashboard.
Based on our data and technical experience, certain parts are more prone to wear on this model. Our range for the Toyota RAV 4 currently covers the following categories:

On a vehicle with multiple potential driveline faults, it pays to start directly in the correct category. By comparing the exact sections for the Toyota RAV 4, it becomes much simpler to distinguish between drive shaft, CV joint or prop shaft issues and to proceed to the page that best matches your symptoms and fitment.
Navigating varying technical specifications can sometimes be challenging. To ensure you order a part with the correct fitment, we strongly advise filtering by your car's make, model and engine variant. Because the Toyota RAV 4 has been manufactured across several generations with different driveline configurations, details such as the spline count on a constant velocity joint or the total length of a driveshaft can differ significantly. Selecting your exact engine and model filters our catalogue so that only parts verified for your car are displayed. This prevents incorrect purchases and saves valuable time during fitting, giving you complete confidence that the replacement matches original specifications.

The most common symptom is a rhythmic clicking noise heard when turning sharply at low speeds. If the noise disappears when driving straight ahead, it is almost certainly a worn outer CV joint.
No, drive shafts vary depending on the model year, engine variant, and whether the vehicle is front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. Always select your vehicle's make, model, and engine in our selector to ensure you get the right part.
Vibrations during acceleration in a Toyota RAV 4 are often caused by worn inner CV joints or an out-of-balance drive shaft. It can also stem from issues with the propeller shaft if the car is all-wheel drive.
Yes, if your CV joint is otherwise in good condition but the ABS ring has cracked or corroded, you can replace just the ring. It is a much more cost-effective solution than replacing the complete joint.
The drive shafts are fitted between the gearbox/differential and the wheels. The propeller shaft is only found on all-wheel-drive RAV 4 models, transferring power longitudinally down the vehicle from the front to the rear axle.
We currently stock 37 specifically matched items for the Toyota RAV 4, including drive shafts, CV joints, propeller shafts, and ABS rings.
